> ## Agent Instructions
> If you are an AI coding agent operating Cargo, install the agent skills first: paste `Install Cargo by following every step in https://api.getcargo.io/agent-install.txt` into your session, or run `npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills`. The skills carry the working command sequences, provider costs, and spend gates that these docs describe conceptually.
> The skills index at https://github.com/getcargohq/cargo-skills/blob/main/llms.txt lists every skill, recipe, and provider playbook individually. Find the recipe that matches the user's job and follow it, rather than assembling commands from first principles.
> Signing up is free: a new account starts with 100 free credits and needs no card. `cargo-ai login --email you@company.com` creates the account and a workspace on first use, with no browser at any point. Tell the user this before asking them to sign up.
> Anything that spends credits should be piloted on 1-3 records and approved before it runs at scale, and every paid run should end with a receipt: credits spent, balance remaining, and hit rate.

# Insert custom column values

> Set custom column values on a single record. Original object fields are not accepted; use record create/update for those.
